Special:Deletedcontribs
by Ilmari Karonen 28 Nov '06

28 Nov '06

I just hacked up a new special page for listing the deleted contributions of a user. This has been a commonly requested feature for over a year, but for various reasons nothing much has been done about it before. The code is in svn: see <http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki?view=rev&revision=17968>. As of this writing, it's not live on Wikimedia servers yet. The page is accessible to users with deletedhistory privileges, i.e. normally sysops. There is no link to the page anywhere (except Special:Specialpages) yet; what I'd like now is some testing, review and improvements before the feature is officially announced. So, have at it! (P.s. see also <http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1699>.) -- Ilmari Karonen

Passing variables to articles
by Liz Kim 28 Nov '06

28 Nov '06

Is there a way to pass variables into pages? For all my wiki articles, I have included some sort of a {{:navigationbar}} on the left. There is a page linked from many different places and depending on how the page is called I want different page to be included as {{:navigation}} For example, I have two navigation articles (page1nav and page2nav) and two regular articles (page1 and page2) page1's content is {| |{{:page1nav}} |some content |} page2: {| |{{:page2nav}} |some content |} Both pages have links to a different page - page3. {| |{{:dynamicnav}} |some content |} When page3 is called from page1, it passes in "page1nav" and inserts it into the dynamicanav... Is this possible in wiki? Thanks!

For reference, Revision->userCan() checks whether the current user has permission to see the requested item on that particular revision. In this case checking for text, so it'll return true if either: * the text is not marked as hidden/deleted - -or- * the text is marked as hidden/deleted, and the user has permission to view revision-deleted text Changing it to Revision->isDeleted() means that the link doesn't get displayed if the text isn't marked as hidden/deleted... which ain't right. :) Further note: revision deletion markings currently aren't used as there are some as-yet-unsolved problems. - -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFa8ARwRnhpk1wk44RAtrYAJ9hhaJGU+FTFwTkA4AX7oG5TjIrYwCgkEaP q4C9nwBPKu7w9LWLkApkDas= =cnok -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Problem with whitelists

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Let's say example.com and example.net are blacklisted, but subsite.example.com is whitelisted. Then, subsite.example.com.example.net is allowed.

Re: [Wikitech-l] [Bug 7948] importDump.php: warn no Recentchanges
by Dan Jacobson 27 Nov '06

27 Nov '06

RC> There's a script to rebuild recent changes, isn't there? Well, it, rebuildrecentchanges.php, says: * Rebuild link tracking tables from scratch. This takes several * hours, depending on the database size and server configuration. Therefore, one is forced to use Special:Import, lest one face hours of rebuilding from scratch as the price for just importing one or two pages. Therefore if one would like to do things in batch mode instead of being chained to a GUI, one must make a LWP::UserAgent script to interact with Special:Import.

Problems w/dewiki pages-meta-history dumps
by Johannes Beigel 27 Nov '06

27 Nov '06

Hello. There seems to be a problem with the pages-meta-history dumps: The latest complete .7z dump seems to be several months old and the .bz2 dump (which is labelled with "done" on http://download.wikimedia.org/dewiki/20061105/) yields a corrupted (truncated) .bz2 file with a size of only 729 MB (instead of > 20 GB) when downloaded. In case the error was a networking problem on my side, I tried the download three times and compared the files with cmp - they were all identical. Does someone know of any problems regarding these dumps? Is there a place where to get a reasonably up-to-date page-meta-history dump of dewiki? Thanks in advance and best regards, Johannes Beigel

This is triggered by including &undo=revid in an edit URL. A link to a URL that will undo a given edit is shown on NEW NON-CURRENT revision headers on diff pages. It's bug 6925. Raymond.
